BEIJING, Oct 18 (AFP): China Tuesday warned the United States against selling arms to Taiwan, as US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld arrived in Beijing for talks with Chinese military officials.
"We're strongly opposed to the United States having any form of military exchange or cooperation with Taiwan, including providing arms to Taiwan," foreign ministry spokesman Kong Quan told a regular briefing.
"In the overall China-US relations, the Taiwan question is a core issue. The proper handling of the Taiwan question is the most important foundation for the healthy and sound relations between China and the United States," he said.
